Look I've got a lot of respect for you guitarists, it's nowhere near my main instrument but I recognise my musician brothers - but come on, surely you know going crazy in a music store doesn't make you look like hot shit? What would you think of you saw someone pick up a violin and bust out some concerto, that they're awesome? No, you'd think they're an asshole tryna show off.
Read the title bro, if he falls off of key twice in 12 bars I would say it would be struggling. He did kill it after the reset though. Which the title says... its supposed to be funny like he couldn't find the key then just kills it but you just have to murder the joke and get all but hurt the title says struggling.
If anyone actually watched the entire stream, he struggles quite a bit hitting certain licks that he's hearing in his head and just keep trying until he gets it. That's why this stream in particular was so endearing

If you’re just learning guitar and want to know how to solo like this, LEARN SOME SCALES!!! Pentatonic is the basic one, then just find a good backing track and mess around with it. Add some bends, slides, and you’ll be going places.
Tyler Reddick this is valid for almost any instrument you can improvise jazz or blues on. learn the pentatonic scales and some licks specific to the instrument. and off you go.
I’d recommend playing major scales in all 12 keys. Everything is based around it. Pentatonic itself is based around the major scale. I’d also recommend spending some free time on music theory.net, great website
Coderedpirate Sure, that goes without saying. Knowing scales and modes is an integral part of playing, and can be learned over time, no doubt. My comment was more geared towards being able to jump in and jam on a basic blues progression immediately.
My guitar teacher taught me, numer one: let the solo "breathe" (don't just keep playing and playing, make little pauses), number two: follow the beat, number three: solos go like this, _ask a question, answer it and then create a new controversy_
For number one, practicing singing along your guitar lines works quite well. My teacher told me horn players all solo with natural spacing between phrases because they literally have to breathe, which can be transferred to guitar playing that way.
Benny would later go to sell millions with his hit record, New Vegas Blues. With songs like: I shot the Mailman, Checkerboard Tux, Ain't that a Kick in the Head and many more.
This is kinda where you can see what Eric Clapton meant when he said, “John doesn’t know how good he actually is.” This guy on a dime just made album quality material
I love how John, this famous and extremely talented touring musician, is chilling with his IG viewers and giving free lessons. One of many reasons I love this guy
I swear this guy hears everything perfectly, and everything he hears he plays immediately without hesitation and without error. Every guitar players dream to play like this. Even when he struggles it's like it was meant to be
Simon Nackborn Johns loosing his hearing a little now. A lot later, just a natural thing that lots of players have happen! It's medical name is ( can't fukkin hear anymore disease) and it sucks!
for people wondering why he's looking up at the ceiling: he's looking into a void that opens up a portal beneath his guitar, so therefore, in essence, he's looking at the bottom of his guitar like, come on man, it's pretty obvious that he's doing that. if you couldnt figure that out, then there's something wrong with you
Damn 1:40 ish to 1:47ish is just an amazingly smooth lick, little different than how bb would ever play it in perfect style of BB. Thank you sir I’ll be learning that tonight haha
At 2.10 he plays note for note a BB.King V chord lick from BB's 'Please love me' live at the regal. On that record you can hear the lick around 0.12 seconds in. They call me Lazer Ears Smith.
I remember him reminiscing about spending years in his room alone playing guitar as a youth; assuming he could be lying on a beach in the tropics for the rest of his life, guitar or not... aspiring guitar players are fortunate to have this. Thank you John!
Thanks for showing us Mayer struggling with something. I thought he was some government made super groove bot from the future sent back to school us on soul.
Jesus , I have always been at least a casual fan of John Mayer . Who knew he was such a student of the game? He’s the total real deal and you’d never know since he’s so humble . Deep musical knowledge , and here he’s playing nothing like the music he creates
Of course he ist the first one to ever play the Blues, he invented it and noone ever before him had any kind of inspiration for pieces of music like, say, THIS BACKING TRACK YOU MORON! For real, come on! There has been so much Blues, you got to be kidding. Except you mean he should start a band, write his own music, sell tickets for his shows, record and sell his albums a million times and... oh wait.
This mans a guitar genius seriously.. i used to hate john Mayer and over the past 5yrs grew too love him hes so versatile and expressive in his guitar playing i love when he plays the blues he goes where no man has gone before and i say to myself how is that possible not sure but he does it everytime im glad hes doing these videos and interacting with his fans. All i can say is god bless john mayer keep on playing that guitar.
Keep in mind there are numerous blues players many with near-living legend status who are better and who play with rock influences to boot. Mayer is a good pop song writer and is a surprisingly competent blues player but he is definitely not the best of this era. Not even close.
@@asegal4677 "suprisingly competent". Mayer learned guitar by mimicking blues legends. He's been playing blues since he first picked up the guitar. Your ridiculous comment shows me you know nothing at all about Mayer's skills.
@@asegal4677 I'm not arguing he's the best because that's too subjective to even begin to debate about. I am arguing, however, that he's definitely better than "not even close".
I've said this on another video of his, but John Mayer inspires me to not only pick up my guitar and learn, but also to sell it and never look back at the same time.
He is not. Tosi Abasi is a monster. John Petrucci is a monster. Guthrie Govan is a monster. John Mayer is a pussy slayer who plays guitar well. If you insist, very well.
@@hanswurst9120 dude, mayer is blues/blues rock player. you have to pit him against guitarists of the same style. but i agree, he's competent for sure, but no stevie ray vaughan.
@@quickstep2408 ok. BB King. Michael Schenker. Joe Bonamassa. What now? Come on guys, Mayer is good, but he is no legend like Clapton. Oh, Clapton btw!
I used to be extremely insecure about doing weird things with my mouth while playing, but after seeing John do it here, I don't think I'll be concerned about it anymore 😂😂
**COMPLETE CLICK BAIT** “John Mayor struggles to find opening note for 15 seconds, then completely shred for 4+ minutes” - is a more appropriate title.
Yep. John Mayer struggling all the way to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. We should all be so fortunate as to struggle playing the guitar like him. Nicely done.
that makes no sense. with many, many hours of practice you should be able to be at least competent with blues. self-defeat is nothing to be proud of. blues is about expression, and that is something you can't really teach as it's individual-based. also hearing the value of a single note, like in the bb king style, which is why his style is really important to be exposed to if you want to pursue blues. you don't need to shred, let it breathe, it's soul music.
quickstep I find it amusing when folks act like players like Mayer are just like any other average Blues player. My point is, that even with many hours of practice I’m not nor would be the equivalent. Their are limits to what practice can do.

@@YMSHE No shit sherlock..he refers to his head movement 🤦♂️
@@YMSHE Technically just the blues scale as blues and minor pentatonic are two different (albeit very similiar) scales.
😂
I'm better at struggling than John Mayer. He can't do it nearly as long as I can. It's my lifes work.

That’s what years of struggling looks like. If it ever stops being a struggle, you’re not getting better anymore.
To say it in the style of howlin‘ wolf:
When you struggled your whole live, Then you got what the blues is ;)
It's always a struggle. Gotta just feel the love and the pain.
The only thing he is struggling with is to keep breathing. He keeps gasping for air when he stops playing for a second. lol
That ceiling must be pretty
The tabs must be pasted there
He’s actually communicating with the blues and music gods in the spirit realm as he plays. They live up there. They like the attention.
